\nOcean currents are classified as warm or cold based on whether they flow from warmer to colder regions (warm currents) or from colder to warmer regions (cold currents), relative to the surrounding water. The Mozambique Current, East Australian Current, and Caribbean Current are warm currents flowing from equatorial regions towards higher latitudes. The South Atlantic Drift is part of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current system and is influenced by the West Wind Drift; it carries relatively cold water eastwards across the South Atlantic.
\n<\/section>\n
\nWarm ocean currents typically flow along the eastern coasts of continents in lower and middle latitudes, and western coasts in higher latitudes. Cold ocean currents typically flow along the western coasts of continents in lower and middle latitudes, and eastern coasts in higher latitudes.
\n<\/section>\n
\nMajor cold currents include the Labrador Current, Canary Current, California Current, Benguela Current, Peru Current, and the West Wind Drift (part of which is the South Atlantic Drift). Warm currents include the Gulf Stream, North Atlantic Drift, Kuroshio Current, Brazil Current, Agulhas Current, and East Australian Current.
